Compared with the prior art, it can effectively remove steel slag on the track.
[0004] However, in the above-mentioned existing track sweeper, its plow-type slag pusher is in rigid contact with the slag. Once it encounters a large volume of slag, it is easy to cause a sense of frustration to the vehicle, especially when the vehicle runs at a faster speed, which is more obvious, and is not conducive to the stable operation of the vehicle. At the same time, the rigid collision is easy to be damaged, reducing the service life.
[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to design a novel reinforced track sweeper for scrap steel straddle carrier to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
